DRAGAN NESKOVIC ARRESTED ON SUSPICION OF GENOCIDE

SIPA (State Investigation and Protection Agency of Bosnia-Herzegovina) in action.

The Office of the State Prosecutor of Bosnia & Herzegovina said Dragan Neskovic (37) was arrested Wednesday in the northeastern town of Bijeljina. A former Bosnian Serb police officer suspected of taking role in the 1995 Srebrenica Genocide, has been placed into custody.

Bosnian Serb forces systematically executed more than 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys, forcibly expelled 30,000 Bosniak refugees and brutally raped hundreds of women and girls in the July 1995 Srebrenica genocide. According to the judgement of the International Criminal Tribunal, Serb forces targeted for extinction a total of 40,000 Bosniak people in the Srebrenica enclave.

Dragan Neskovic is suspected of directly participating in mass killings of unarmed Muslims.

Victims were shot while trying to escape through woods or seized and taken to places of execution before being buried in mass graves.

Srebrenica genocide is Europe's first genocide since the Holocaust and the only legally established case of genocide on the continent. It is the worst atrocity since World War Two.

Srebrenica Genocide is not a matter of anybody's opinion; it's a judicial fact recognized first by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and subsequently by the International Court of Justice.
